The message expression is one that would be really handy. I will have a look on how we can implement it

How would we do a .substring now?

[ultraq]

I think you can do a .substring on any string now as both Java and JavaScript both call that method "substring". I haven't tried it with that method in particular, but being able to do method calls on objects is already possible.

alright!

Hi, I have a problem

    let templateEngine = new TemplateEngine({
        ...STANDARD_CONFIGURATION,
        messageResolver: async (key, parameters) => resolveMessage(key, lang, 'defaultMessage')
    })

const context = { user: user } templateEngine.processFile(fileName, context)

, it work on tags loike this with #

, but not on variable expressions

Dear

, this results in - Dear{0} The templates I have worked fine with spring thymeleaf Did I forget something ?
